What's Changed

🧵 SchedulerUtil powered by VirtualThreads

🔄 Automatic Context Propagation

• Async operations automatically pass variables and objects using ThreadLocalObjectContainer.

🌱 Spring Boot Upgrade

• Updated core dependencies to Spring Boot 3.5.8 for enhanced performance, security and support.

🌐 Built-in WebSocket Integration for ZK

• A new WebSocket connection implementation is now used automatically in apps running ZK.
• Using WebSocketPushSender, you can request the client to execute a ZK Global command remotely, with support for sending parameters.
• Improved utilities for working with ZK EventQueue.

📣 Advanced Messaging API

• MessageService now supports subscriptions to channels and topics for real-time event processing.
• SimpleMessageService also supports programmatic subscriptions, eliminating the need for annotated listener classes (@MessageListener). Listeners can be registered flexibly in code.

📨 Message Event Export

• Introduced MessageEventTransport class for easy export of MessageEvent data—
  making it simple to serialize, send (e.g. JSON, distributed systems), and rehydrate events externally.

🌍 Modern HTTP Client
